In one of my games I renamed all the characters after Anne McCaffrey's Pern series. For example, say a boy was named Tabo, well when he became 14 and old enough to work, he was renamed T'bo. Girls were named after queen dragon riders. The male leader of the village was called Jaxom (after my fave dragonrider).

In all my other games since, healers are named Dr ****, builders are Mr/Ms ****, scientist are named **** Phd. Breeding males (I always have two) are named Don Juan and Casa Nova. Mostly I give them Aboriginal names, because I like 'em lol, and I can name my fave villagers after my kids (Janarra, Coen, Kylara & Bindi).

Yeah this is a fun thread!
